Turbulent Boundary Layers in Blast Wave and Shock Tube Flows

ISBN:
Category : Blast effect
Languages : en
Pages : 74
Book Description
An unsteady boundary layer if formed along the ground as a result of nuclear explosions and large HE bursts. This boundary layer influences overturning vulnerability predictions for combat vehicles subjected to blast loading. An integral boundary-layer theory is used to predict the growth of the turbulent boundary layer behind a blast wave. Predictions are presented for conventional and nuclear yields ranging from 18100 kg (20 ton) to 9.07 x 10 to the 8th power kg (1 Mton) TNT equivalent. The boundary-layer growth is calculated using two techniques and compared with experimental boundary-layer measurements taken in a 90700 kg (100 ton) TNT surface tangent sphere explosion. One of the techniques, based on experimentally-derived values for shock position and velocity appears to give a reasonable estimate of the boundary-layer thickness based on the limited experimental data available for comparison. Shock tube simulation of blast wave boundary-layer effects is discussed. Estimates are presented for the growth of the wall boundary layer in the BRL 2.44m (8 ft) shock tube and the boundary layer that can be formed on a ground plane mounted in this shock tube. Testing in the wall boundary layer is not feasible because of balance response-time restrictions. It appears that blast wave boundary layers of moderate thickness, on the order of a meter or less can be simulated using the shock tube ground plane boundary layer. (Author).

Book Description
Originally published in 1981, this volume provides a systematic and detailed critique of the practice of transport planning. It shows how past transport policies blighted cities, suburbs and countryside alike, led to increased death and injury on the roads and offered the whole of the motorized world as a hostage to the oil-producing countries. The book urges us all to consider whether increase mobility is really synonymous with progress and to take a more active part in planning decisions that may adversely affect our futures. The book will be of interest to those concerned with environmental issues & transport planning.
